Death was just a game for the kidnappers who held two journalists in Iraq for five days.One of them, Canadian reporter Scott Taylor, who was freed last week, said yesterday he was manhandled, threatened with beheading and physically tortured - tied upside down and beaten on legs and feet with rods and a whip for nearly half an hour.
But the most frightening moment came near the end, when his captors subjected him to a twisted quiz in which the wrong answer meant death.
"They said we are going to play a game of 'Knife or Life,'" Taylor said in an interview with Fox News. "With each answer, I was to either live or die."
And the rules weren't fair. When they asked whether Taylor had ever visited Israel, saying no wasn't enough.
"The answer to that is 'No, I have never been to the occupied lands of Palestine,'" said Taylor. "They do not use the word Israel."
Taylor was grabbed in northern Iraq with a woman named Zeynep Tugrul, a Turkish journalist.
He said he doesn't know why they were spared, but suspects the men who took them found them by chance and were not interested in hostages.
That may have made their abduction even more chaotic. They were passed from group to group and Taylor said his captors displayed "almost a schizophrenic behavior," swinging from dishing out beatings to allowing the hostages to pick out their meals.
At times it was children or students who guarded Taylor and Tugrul, but the woman was not spared torture when hardened insurgents were in command.
Then, Taylor heard her screaming, and even his guards looked sickened. "The perpetrators were of a different breed," he said.
Taylor said he owes his life to Tugrul. "She saved my life a couple of times. She did suffer quite a bit herself."

Cat Islam is a "moderate" who's 100% full of shi'ite! He funds Islamoterror, i.e., blowing up innocents as well as his Mein Koran verses to murder 'heretics' of Mooohammadanism like Rushdie.
There is no reason for Death Cult, Inc. (Muhammadanism) to outlive 2005
Kill them, kill them ALL
Grace for moos is over...
Hope she was not raped.
Well, at least the prominent figureheads of the "religion of peace" have been on a 24 hour diligent agenda of condemning such actions.....
Re: "even his guards looked sickened" and "schizophrenic behavior"
Sounds like a death cult to me.
93% of Muhammadans recently surveyed approve of this ghoulish sub-human-terror...kill them all.
Our expenditures toward our military, intelligence, and defense spending, this being the case, are way to low!
Thank you.

Did you find it?
As I stated on a previous thread- roast a pig, force feed it to them (run a tube down their throat and pour in the pork if you have to). Next, behead them, replacing it with a pig head then hang the bodies from the bridge in falujah (sp?).
The ratio is 5 to 1.. For every American they kill, 5 of them received this treatment.

I say drop more really big bombs and lose not one more American....
You're welcome. Lighten up, I'm playing on your team...lol

That'll work, too -
These terrorist groups attract phsycopaths who use the muslim cause as an excuse to feed their sickness. Zarqawi is nothing more than Ted Bundy with an excuse. When all is said and done, they all deserve to die, psychopath or not.
It's the 'sooner or later' choice. Why waste anymore of ours? I've got to rack it...g'night and God bless.
You have a good eve. Also time for me to become horizontally polarized myself -
Godspeed
Whoa ... that surpised the heck out of me!
Must be a Canadian reporter thing.
"Then, Taylor heard her screaming, and even his guards looked sickened."
It must have been a result of that torture method when they placed underware over her head. Its the worst, ask Sen.Feinstein.
So someone was 'just having fun'.
This must be part of some effort to 'harden' then up.
The captors were reported to be Ansar al-Islam, which is an Al-Qaeda affiliate.
I just find this whole thing odd.
Also, he was very experienced and well travelled in the area, obviously knew things like the "Occupied Lands" business (understood the culture well). He even made the comment that the place where he was captured needs o be discovered by National Geographic. i am sure he played a role in saving himself.
I would also suspect someone got something out of his release.
This occured in the North as well, so it probably was not AQ influenced as much.
But what?
He's not really editorially on our team as far as Iraq goes, which is a bonus if you're an insurgent, but he was part and parcel of the Slav propaganda machine during the Balkan wars - if the insurgents checked him out on the web as he says, that alone should have been enough to justify his execution in their eyes.
And again, his captors were supposed to be Ansar Al-Islam, which is a de facto Al Qaeda affiliate.
I think Al Sadr affiliated groups have released kidnapped journalists, and in Afghanistan another Canadian reporter was released back in December of 2001 by the Taleban, so I guess it's just the Ansar Al-Islam angle that's causing me cognitive dissonance.
Ransom is most likely the reason.
What an apt comparison. I was living in Tallahassee when that sicko killed the sorority girls and tried to kidnap a little girl in Lake City. He was truly a psychopathic monster!
Yep, and one of the characteristics of a psychopath is the inability to feel any empathy with anyone. They can only view other people in terms of themselves. Any man who can repeatedly cut off the heads of other human beings is a psychopath. And just like Charles Manson he has found enough morally weak men to help him do it. A lot of these terrorists groups are like extreme cults.
maybe you're just a wack job, bub.
